I'm debating an HK USP versus a Sig p227.

Help me decide which one I should get.
>>
>>29830877
USP all day everyday.

Alloy frames are dick.
>>
USP has 2 extra rounds per magazine and is better built imho. The 227 has a pic rail but adapters for the USP arent that bad. 227 mags will likely be cheaper, but i feel like USP accessories will be more avalible because the 227 is newer and a bit more of an oddball gun. The USP Tactical is also way sexier imo.
>>
>>29830877
USP all fucking day. P227 sucks dick, P220 is better
>>
>>29830877
USP. The 227 is nice by virtue of being a sig but the USP is better.

Any opinions on the P2000 for CC?

USP is better in every way except for the factory trigger.

The P227 is a fucking retarded design and SIG would be ashamed if they were capable of feeling shame.

>>29831086
Pretty good. Just an ergonomically improved USPC, which nobody is going to talk shit about. They're just a little big for a "compact", IMO.

HK recently lowered the price so now's the time to get one if you want it.

>safety is on
Copfag here, the USP's safety is shit. Multiple times at the range i've accidentally hit it while getting out of my holster and suddenly "oh shit my gun doesn't work"
We had a police involved shooting happen recently where one of our guys did th exact same thing on the street, drew his weapon and accidentally hit the safety. Suddenly cant shoot the badguy.

OP, the USP is alright, i've had multiple double feeds in mine and there's the issue of the safety lever which i just talked about.

I'd pick the p227 for the simple fact that i wont have to worry about the gun not going bang because there are no external safeties.
>>
>>29831152
This.

SIG gives us the abortions that are the P224. P227, and P225A1, but no double-stack P239? Get the fuck out of here.
>>
>>29831143
i own two p2000's, a LEM and v3. They both shoot great. It's sorta like a USP trigger pull but just a tad bit different, hard to describe really.

Took the words right out of my mouth. I want something in between a P239 and P224. If Sig ever gets off their asses and makes something like that, I will pay full MSRP for once.

There's no question that they can redesign the P239 to be at least smaller right? That gun was made ~20 years ago.

They can, but they won't.

Fuck look at the P320. It's their breakthrough into the striker-fired market, and they elect to literally just nigger-rig a striker into their oversized and chunky budget-minded P250 to save R&D costs. This is like if HK decided to re-enter the market with a modernized VP70 instead of making the VP9.

SIG DGAF about streamlining their products or making lean designs. They will always be huge, overweight blocks.

Pull is a tiny bit longer in p2k, reset is a tiny bit longer. Difference is obvious on da/sa. Not so really with LEM.

LEM is much harder to install than say a sig dak. Removable grip panels make sigs super easy to work on. When you have a solid poly grip it's tough. Doable with a 3/32 punch, a rubber mallet, and superfine needle nose

Sig is a marketing firm that sells guns. Hk and Glock are gun companies that market. Such is life. I love my p239 and p220 but god damn it's been 20 yrs. hopefully they will get some big contracts with the p320 and work on optimizing size and weight.

No surprises here, you can switch the safety to a decocker only and suddenly you no longer have that "problem"

Gotta run wet. It's lithium grease. Got hot shooting and spunked down the trigger abit

There is no reason to lube that part of the trigger, though. That amount of grease in that spot is so obscene.
>>
>>29831397
>hopefully they will get some big contracts with the p320 and work on optimizing size and weight.

If they got big contracts with the P320 why would they change it?

The only chance we have at getting a non-gargantuan striker-fired pistol from SIG is to disown the P320 and let SIG know we don't want half assed bullshit. Maybe then they'll offer up a real option.

I have installed pretty much every variation of trigger on USP compact .40's and USP full-size 9mms and have never needed a mallet for anything on the frame. You are doing something wrong, USP's are really easy to put together, except the fucking trigger return spring is really fucking annoying. I'd say they are about the same to as Sig's, maybe a bit easier because you don't need a screw driver.

Google it, fucker. There are at least the following options for the USP's firing system:

DA/SA+decocker (left or right)
DA/SA (left or right)
Decocker only (left or right)
LEM with manual safety (left or right)
LEM no manual safety
in addition to different options achieved with various combinations of springs, like light LEM, match DA/SA, match LEM, and so forth.
>>
>>29831559
So carry a gun that doesn't have a manual safety. As mentioned, there are several ways to configure the USP that way.

>>29831542
It's idiotic to carry a gun with a manual safety and not practice sweeping it off with every draw.
>>
>>29831559
Then remove the paddle you dumb faggot
HK designed the gun to do that
>>
So what makes the USP superior to the sig, other that build quality. What does the USP do better than the sig, and how?
>>
>>29831551
No nigger.

They would be considerably different. The P228/P229 are gigantic for compacts. I want a double stack, DA/SA that is inline with a CZ 75 compact. Also, Sig has a real habbit of releasing useless shit. See P227, P225-A1. So it wouldn't be too much of a stretch that they make something that would be actually useful.
>>
>>29831551
>its as close as you'll ever get, they're not going to release something that's practically already existing

FN turned the Forty-Nine into the FNS
S&W turned the Sigma into the M&P

If you don't buy a shitty pistol that's entered to capture a piece of a lucrative market, there's a chance the manufacturer will take a step back and redesign it into something good.
>>
>>29831536
You need the punch and a mallet to change the firing pin block spring depending on your date of construction..but yeah that's not on the frame. I wouldn't make the argument that working from one side is easier than have open air in the frame on a sig

>>29831656
The 9mm shoots super flat and feels like a 32acp nailgun. The .40 recoils like a 9mm.

The .45 is one smooth son of a bitch.
>>
>>29831656
Sigs have the problem that when you run them dry, the hardened stainless steel of the slide will literally eat away at the soft aluminum frame's anodizing, eventually eating into the frame itself, compromising frame integrity, and destroying the gun, once it starts developing cracks. This is literally a non-issue with a polymer HK, which has metal frame rail inserts of the same hardness as the slide metal.

Sigfags will say "so just run it wet," but the wear occurs even in the course of a normal shooting session, as grease flies off of the rails due to the cycling of the slide and heat.
>>
>>29831656
Polymer yields on impact. Alloys effectively don't. If a handgun take an impact you're going to want polymer on metal and not metal on metal. Recoil buffer just dampens the final couple mils of the slide reciprocation. To me it doesn't do much to recoil but it will dramatically help service life
>>
>>29831688
In the fullsize maybe, but comparing my G19gen4 to my USPC the glock is easier to keep on target
I highly recommend that you buy the fullsize USP if you buy one
>>
>>29831656
Its more durable because of the type of steel used on the slide and barrel, the finish put on them, and the polymer frame.
The recoil buffer works like a normal recoil spring until its the slide is almost all the way to the rear, then a second spring comes in and dampens the slide slamming to the rear. You can feel it when you rack the slide, pull the slide back like normal till you feel it hit the end, then pull it a little more. It works really well imo, some people claim not to notice a difference.
>>
>>29831720
Yeah I should have said full size.
>>
>>29831683
Isn't even a real problem
>>
>>29831707
People do make a bigger deal out of Sig frame wear than they need to. It may be a problem in some of the guns chambered in higher pressure cartridges, but I have seen P228's in military service that have 0% anodization left on the rails, that shoot just as well as they did from the factory.
>>
>>29831713
Thats not what we are talking about. the USP has a recoil reduction system in the spring.
>>
>>29831720
>comparing my G19gen4 to my USPC the glock is easier to keep on target

This is probably because your wrists are weak like a little girl's and you got worn out midway through your comparison. The USP-C recoils softer than a Glock of the same caliber.

>I don't own either guns, you suck and I hate you

The FNX is DA/SA, and in my opinion has a better trigger than the HK45c. It's about like a USP trigger, but with arguably a better reset (less tactile, but shorter). You should check them out sometime. The one thing that gets me is the cheese grater grip texture.

Gen 3. If you're implying that Gen 4 Glocks have reduced recoil, I've owned both Gen 3 and Gen 4 Glock 20's and they had the same recoil.
>>
>>29831894
Does the gen 3 recoil the same as the gen 4? I don't have any side by side comparisons with those. It's really nitpicking honestly, but I would never say the USP has less flip than the 19, but it could also be how I shoot.
I shoot the USP a bit better than the glock anyways

There is no difference at all. It was a swing and a miss by glock. Its not bad or unreliable or anything, but its not an improvement either, and it makes some gen4 parts incompatible with gen3 parts, which is bullshit, the took something that wasn't broke, and engineered the fuck out of it, for nothing. Gen3 is best gen.
>>
>>29831946
Well if you are comparing the 40 versions, I would argue that the glock was designed for 9mm and the HK for 40, and I have no extensive history with any 40 so I will take your word for it
>>
>>29831590
>>29831599
no, they wont. theres no point. the 229/228 may be a little thick but that have a decent hold in the market for their compacts. Not to mention the 320 series. The 239 is popular because its a single stack, its a niche item. That would be like glock saying the 43 should be a double stack and releasing a 44 when the 26 exists. It aint gonna happen, deal with it

Definitely the HK.

I like my USPs, but a SIG 227 would be nice as well.

USPs have a stupid proprietary rail which is annoying if you want to stick a light or something on them.

With the UPSs the upgraded trigger mech is really worth it, really a big leap forward from the trigger in a standard USP.
>>
>>29831741
Considering I've seen it twice now on separate guns? Yeah. No thanks. I know it's still not a LIKELY problem, but it's one that I simply don't want to even consider. The USP is tough as fuck, arguably on par with or better than Glock.

That being said, don't leave your FNX in the sun unless you want the G36 problem.

>>29831854
Enh. Glock ownership doesn't really make you a poorfag. I feel like it's Babby's First Basic Bitch Gun, but it's not an objectively bad choice, and Glocks stopped being cheaper than most of their contemporaries in the 90s. Hell, the VP9 is in a close price point against them. Glocks aren't cheap, USPs are pricey.

>>29832222
>USPs have a stupid proprietary rail which is annoying if you want to stick a light or something on them.

OP, this guy is right about the rail. However, you have to ask yourself exactly what you plan to do with the rail. Streamlight has been marvelous about supporting the USP's rail, offering a good number of lights, lasers, and combinations of the two. That's assuming you even care.

Seconding this. I swapped from a Glock 23 to a USP40c, and I've absolutely never looked back.

Fuck. I meant this:

As a response to that. Got my formatting all fucked. Point being, the difference in felt recoil between the Glock 23 and the USP40c was notable, and even moreso vs my fullsize USP40.

Bold claim, HK shill. Show me proof that it's false, because last I checked, even HK basically said "Hey, we gave you exactly what you asked for, you just started doing weird shit with it like hanging out in deserts and shit. If you wanted a gun for the desert, we'd have made that. Want some 416s, bro?"

>>
>>29835010
No problem. I honestly think the G36 fiasco was making a problem out of nothing. The weapon fulfills and exceeds the requirements set by the German government. It does string when it gets massively hot, but not any worse than a contemporary AR15 derivative. The fiasco they had was purely political, and unfortunately damaged the name of H&K.

125lb skeleton here,

I carry a P2000. Conceals well but fuck is it big. Makes it uncomfortable to sit but pretty comfy otherwise. Definitely my best-shooting handgun too, it really shines when practicing drawing and shooting
>>
If I'm looking for a handgun with a threaded barrel, what would you guys recommend? I've been thinking an HK USP .45, but I'm wondering if there are more cost effective options.

FNX .45? SIG P226? Glock with an aftermarket threaded barrel?

Does anyone recommend 9mm over .45 suppressed?
>>
>>29836930
>what would you guys recommend?

It really depends on what features you want and how it fits your hand. But according to silencerco's tests, the P226 suppresses the quietest compared to other 9mm's but marginally.

As for suppressing, get 9mm. Some people like to think .45 suppresses better than 9mm because it's a slower bullet but it just isn't true.

Some anon in a thread the other day proposed an explanation regarding the fact that .45 subsonic ammo is a lot more common to find than 147gr 9mm.
>>
>>29836930
.45 ACP goes better with suppressors because I think most .45 ammo is subsonic.
Thats not to say that you cant just buy a box of subsonic 9mm as well.

As for the gun I would just buy the one you feel the most comfortable with, since all the guns you named are a good purchase.

If you want to save money then buy a Glock 17 and a threaded barrel. S&W M&P's are also very cost-effective. If you want .45 then the FNX45 tactical USP45 Tactical are both about the same price, so it'd come down to personal preference. I prefer the USP, but I don't really like the tactical models.
As for 9mm vs .45, I prefer .45 but thats mostly because its way more impressive to hear the 230 grain .45 hit the target or backstop when shooting suppressed. Its not hard to find subsonic 9mm, most if not all 147 grain is subsonic a lot of factory 124 grain even is subsonic if it isn't +p. You can even find 115gr subsonic ammo, which doesn't cycle my Glock 17.

Aye, thank you guys. I guess I'll just see what's what's on sale. Interesting point on .45 vs 9mm subsonic's.

Because sig fanboys are willing to pay that much for an anchor and a sticker.

phosphate coating, really. You should only get one if you genuinely like how it looks or for the short external extractor.

Other than that, you're getting memed on.

I'm okay with getting bent over a bit. I am actually in the Navy. And I do actually wear anchors. I figure I may as well get one. Seems like a good enough keepsake.

I remember that thread. I posted a reply about it and it is 100% bullshit. A civilian mk25 would have never been actually used by a seal overseas, it just doesn't happen.

The phosphate coating prevents corrosion in saltwater hence the seal stuff.

But really the main selling point to sig aficionados at least is the short extractor as opposed to the long extractors on every p226 sig makes now. Apparently it's more reliable and less prone to breaking.

Go with the 227 OP, though honestly, I'd just go for 226 since ballistics and all that.

USP 45 sucks shit though. Fucking everybody knows it's not a soldier's gun. Tight tolerances. Full length guide rod, and all that good stuff that makes it unreliable.

I own several HKs myself, and I'm going to be getting your much coveted 416 upper this week. I am aware that they are great pieces of equipment, but I'm not brand loyal to the point of fanaticism. Last I heard, G36 was in bad shape. I kinda stopped following it after HK released their statement that seemed like they also believed it. I chalked it up to the fact that every now and then, mistakes happen.

I swear sometimes HK owners would be the Macfags of the gun world if Glock ownders didn't exist.

>>29835136
That's good to know. I was a bit surprised to hear about the whole thing, especially since they were talking about like 8 MOA or some shit. I haven't had a chance to actually read those articles yet because bedtime, but I'm curious to see what the exact deal was.

Remember guys, beware the comments section


"We German Bundeswehr soldiers got back to the modernized G3 7,62x51 /308 with an 4-/8x Aimpoint Optic !

If you are under unfriendly fire , the older G3 was more usefull over long distances , those Taliban Assholes shooting from longer distances, so our G-36 Rifles was not so able to got really impacts to the enemy.

Since Jears we all talk about the Cal.223 Remington , its fine fore short distance but not so helpfull about 150 meters, less Man stopping power , easy to deflect by wind and sand and vegetation , so what ?

This Taliban shooting with 7,62x39 AK 47 heavy Bullets over 500 meters , and this was not nice Dear friend !

Unbelievable but this Bullets got enough energy to target a comrade down, 5,56mm didn't, good for 300 m."
